59-year-old Emile Ratelband wants his real birthday, which is March 11, 1949, to be returned for 20 years, making it March 11, 1969. He has compared the right to changing age with the right to change gender, writes Periscope.

Ratelband has said that according to doctors he has a body of a 45-year-old, describing himself as a strong young “”. /Periscopi/
